Dual Cultivation: A Carefree Journey Through Another World, the Empress Falls into My Hands

Not long after, Chu Yunfan appeared at the city gate.

However, to his surprise, due to the recent series of incidents involving the Wang family, Lianshan City has begun to impose martial law, strictly checking people entering and leaving the city. If the city guards have any suspicions, they will directly detain the person and take them back to the city lord's mansion for search.

Upon seeing this scene, Chu Yunfan immediately stopped in his tracks.

However, time was of the essence, and the Gold-Eating Rat King was in imminent danger; he had to leave the city as soon as possible.

Suddenly, Chu Yunfan's eyes lit up, and he then tricked a member of the Wang family near the city gate into a nearby alley.

Afterwards, Chu Yunfan killed the man, destroyed the body, and disguised himself as him before heading out of the city.

The city lord's mansion was under martial law specifically to help the Wang family capture the murderer.

Upon seeing Chu Yunfan disguised as a member of the Wang family, they pretended to question him before releasing him out of the city.

After leaving the city gate, Chu Yunfan immediately sped up, found the secret passage he had taken earlier, and rushed to the mountain range.

Meanwhile, in the mountain range, an old man was walking through the forest with one hand behind his back. Each time he moved his toes slightly, his body would leap more than a hundred meters into the air.

His old, cloudy eyes were now gleaming with a sharp light as he stared intently at the ground beneath his feet. His nose would twitch occasionally, as if he were sniffing something, and he would occasionally strike out with his palm, blasting a crater more than a hundred meters deep into the ground.

As he made his move, gold-devouring rats were blasted into pieces from time to time, their corpses buried under the soil in the deep pit.

However, the old man's eyes showed some displeasure at this moment.

Because the gold-eating rats he blew up were not the ones he wanted to kill.

Not long before, he had injured a gold-eating rat the size of a human head, with milky-white fur that made it look distinctly different from other rats.

The moment he saw this gold-devouring rat, he guessed that it was the king of these annoying rat demons.

Therefore, he wanted to get rid of this Gold-Eating Rat King as soon as possible to prevent it from continuing to command other Gold-Eating Rats to plot against the royal family.

To be honest, these Gold-Eating Rats are not strong individually; they are all second-tier demonic beasts. To him, he could kill a whole group with a single finger.

However, these gold-eating rats would dig traps and release poison everywhere, and some of them were even poisonous themselves.

This resulted in many members of the Wang family's team who came to the Shanlianshan Mountains being poisoned, and some even dying from the poison, becoming cold corpses.

This was something the old man simply could not tolerate.

After all, he was the dignified Grand Elder of the Wang family, a veteran Martial Venerable Realm peak expert, and a figure with an extremely high status in Lianshan City.

As a result, even though he personally led the attack, he still suffered so many losses, and the opponents were just a bunch of second-tier mice.

If this were to get back to Lianshan City, how could he save face?

"How can this rat demon be so tenacious? It was hit by my palm, yet it still has the strength to run away!"

Wang Qifeng's face was gloomy, and then he struck the ground in front of him with a palm.

In an instant, several more gold-devouring rats were blasted away, their bodies turning into minced meat and scattered in the giant crater a hundred meters deep.

"I refuse to believe I can't kill a mere early-stage third-tier rat like you today!"

Wang Qifeng let out a low shout, and then his figure flashed and disappeared a hundred meters away.

Meanwhile, two hundred meters underground, the Gold-Eating Rat King lay motionless on the ground.

Of course, it wasn't dead, it just couldn't run anymore.

It had already suffered a blow from Wang Qifeng, and only managed to survive thanks to the residual medicinal power of the thousand-year-old spiritual milk in its body.

As a result, he was chased by Wang Qifeng all the way, and fled with serious injuries. At this moment, he was on the verge of death.

Fortunately, Chu Yunfan was able to contact it directly through the essence blood in his mind, allowing it to pluck hundreds of rat hairs, which were then carried by the other Gold-Eating Rats to escape in different directions.

Only then did they manage to escape Wang Qifeng's pursuit and stop to catch their breath.

Meanwhile, Chu Yunfan was also making every effort to get there.

Fortunately, he broke through to the Martial Grandmaster realm, and his body, after being baptized by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, evolved once again, greatly increasing his speed.

In addition, the sword intent of wind has also increased significantly.

Therefore, Chu Yunfan quickly arrived at the Gold-Eating Rat King's location.

Seeing the Gold-Eating Rat King covered in blood and on the verge of death, Chu Yunfan's eyes flashed with killing intent. Before he could say anything, he quickly fed the Gold-Eating Rat a mouthful of millennium spirit milk.

After swallowing a mouthful of millennium-old spiritual milk, the Gold-Eating Rat King quickly moved away from the threat of death, and its aura gradually strengthened.

Seeing this, Chu Yunfan fed the Gold-Eating Rat King another mouthful of Millennium Spirit Milk to help it recover quickly.

After the Gold-Eating Rat King had recovered for a while, Chu Yunfan asked:

"Xiao Jin, how did you get hurt like this?"

Upon hearing this, the Gold-Eating Rat King immediately replied:

"That old guy's senses are too sharp. His nose is even more sensitive than a dog's. I was digging a hole more than a hundred meters underground, and he still managed to detect it."

Before I could even launch a sneak attack, he struck me with a palm, leaving me severely injured.

"Luckily I ran fast, otherwise I wouldn't be alive to see you, Master!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yunfan frowned slightly.

A Martial Venerable Realm expert's body has evolved far beyond that of an ordinary person, and can clearly sense any movement within a radius of 100 meters.

However, the Gold-Eating Rat King's underground burrowing makes it extremely secretive, and the noise it makes while digging is also minimal.

It would be difficult for ordinary Martial Venerable Realm experts to detect anything unusual.

Unexpectedly, this peak Martial Venerable expert from the Wang family possessed an extraordinary sense of smell, detecting the Gold-Eating Rat King's sneak attack more than a hundred meters ahead.

"That will make it much harder to ambush him!"

Chu Yunfan sighed softly.

The Wang family's Martial Venerable Realm peak expert had such a keen sense of smell that he could easily detect whether Chu Yunfan was planning to secretly poison him or launch a sneak attack, thus allowing him to defend himself in advance.

In this way, a sneak attack would be completely pointless except for revealing one's own location.

The key point is that although Chu Yunfan has broken through to the Martial Grandmaster realm, in terms of one-on-one combat, he can only contend with ordinary early-stage Martial Venerable realm experts.

Chu Yunfan is not yet able to directly confront a powerhouse at the peak of the Martial Venerable Realm.

Of course, to be honest, given Chu Yunfan's current status in Lianshan City, he could easily rally the Jiang, Tian, ​​and Mu families to join forces and wipe out the Wang family.

However, this would inevitably leave us indebted to these three families.

Debts of gratitude are often the hardest to repay.

Therefore, Chu Yunfan would not do this unless absolutely necessary.

"But how exactly should we deal with this peak Martial Venerable Realm cultivator?"

Chu Yunfan lowered his head, his eyes filled with contemplation.

Suddenly, a glint flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily curled up slightly.

"Since we can't deal with you, let's deal with your henchmen first."

Then, we'll wait for you to walk right into our trap!

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Yunfan took the Gold-Eating Rat King into action.
